ISO/IEC 10918-1 : 1993(E)
In the hierarchical mode of operation each component is encoded or decoded in a non-differential frame followed by a
sequence of differential frames. A non-differential frame shall use the procedures defined in Annexes F, G, and H.
Differential frame procedures are defined in this annex.
